Ben Affleck to Direct TELL NO ONE Remake!

I enjoy Ben Affleck as a director, Gone Baby Gone is one of my favorite movies. When I read on Deadline that he has a new project, I was intrigued. Tell No One is an adaptation of the book of the same title by author Harlan Coban.  Sony was going to make this film back in 2002, but it fell through. Then it was made by French filmmaker Guillaume Canet.  

Affleck is going to essentially going to remake Canet's film for an American audience.  

I have not read the book yet, but after reading the synopsis I am going out to pick it up today.  Here is a synopsis of the story from deadline:

The plot involves a pediatrician who is out one night frolicking by a lake with his wife when she suddenly vanishes and he is severely beaten when he tries to find her. When she turns up murdered, he is prime suspect. That’s until she’s declared a victim of a caught serial killer. Years later, bodies turn up in the same spot and the nightmare is repeated, the pediatrician again under suspicion. Right around that time, he’s given evidence that his wife wasn’t dead at all. Canet managed to make all that work, anchored by the fact the protagonist never got over the death of his wife. 

I can't wait to read this book, and hopefully it fuels the fire to see the film.  Let us know what you think.
